    For the past 20 years, Ben Selby has been living alone and working away at an ordinary job; but before that, many years ago, he was part of a not-quite-legal band of mercenaries. When Peter Gaston, Selby’s former boss, turns up stabbed to death near his holiday cottage, Selby begins to wonder whether his death is related to the band’s last mission, in which priceless treason was lost at sea. Teaming up with Gaston’s widow, Selby heads back to the scene of the shipwreck: he for profit, she for revenge. Praised by critics for his clean prose style, characterisation, and the strong sense of place in his novels, Philip Maitland Hubbard was born in Reading, Berkshire and brought up in the Channel Islands. He was educated at Oxford, where he won the Newdigate Prize for English verse in 1933. From 1934 until its disbandment in 1947 he served with the Indian civil service, then for the British Council, before retiring to work as a freelance writer. He contributed to a number of publications, including Punch, and wrote 16 novels for adults and two children's books. He lived in Dorset and Scotland, and many of his novels draw on his interest in and knowledge of rural pursuits and folk religion. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Barnaby Edwards.

    Is it fair to call Carl Wilson the "accidental" Beach Boy? He was the youngest brother - and cousin - in the world’s most enduring and prominent California surf band, the one that probably had other youthful pursuits in mind when older brother Brian recruited him to the band in the early 1960s at age 15. But the rest of The Beach Boys were lucky he got around - I mean, came around - as Carl eventually became the band’s musical director, lead vocalist, and its conscience in the absence of brother Brian.  In his new biography, Long Promised Road: Carl Wilson, Soul of the Beach Boys, writer Kent Crowley tells the story of the brother who spent much of his life in Brian's shadow, even when Brian was nowhere in sight for years and years.  Know the Boys' music but not their history? Maybe you didn’t realize those are Carl Wilson's vocals in your head from the immortal beach tunes "Good Vibrations" and "God Only Knows", among many others.  Key interview moments:  3:30 Murray Wilson, father of three of The Beach Boys, Brian Wilson, Dennis Wilson, and Carl Wilson, was himself the product of an abusive household 9:10 Carl Wilson doesn’t get enough credit as a guitar hero, according to biographer Kent Crowley 32:10 Crowley cites examples of Carl Wilson's "wonderful sense of humor".

    No Slade = No Oasis. It’s as devastating and as simple as that. Noel Gallagher Slade’s music and style dominated and defined the 1970s. With six consecutive number one singles, they were the UK’s number one group and sold millions of records all over the world. At their peak, Slade enjoyed success and adulation not seen since The Beatles.Now, for the first time, the man whose outlandish costumes, glittering make-up, and unmistakable hairstyle made Slade the definitive act of glam rock tells his story. Growing up in a council house in 1950s Wolverhampton, Dave always knew he wanted to be a musician, and in the mid-sixties, with Don Powell, he founded the band that in 1970 would settle on the name Slade.Their powerful guitar-driven anthems formed the soundtrack for a whole generation, and their Top of the Pops performances, led by their flamboyant, ever-smiling lead guitarist, became legendary. But So Here It Is reveals that there’s much more to Dave’s life than Top of the Pops and good times.The book uncovers surprising family secrets, tells the inside story of the original band’s painful break-up, explores Dave’s battles with depression, his decision to reform Slade and go back on the road, and his recovery from the stroke that threatened to cut short his career. Told with great heart and humor, So Here It Is is the story of the irresistible rise of Dave Hill and the definitive account of his journey from working-class lad to global rock star. ungekürzt.

    Does music have the power to invade the soul?Beware the Dark Muse...Thirteen-year-old Muddy Brooks has always wanted to fit in with the "regular" crowd in a small town in New Jersey. He hopes that his band, The Accidentals, helps gain him acceptance into the world where he has always stuck out like a broken thumb. When his older brother disappears at the crossroads while playing a mysterious song, Muddy plunges into a world of music where songs come to life, where musicians find their inspiration, what price they must pay for fame. He must learn to harness the power of the legendary crossroads and conquer what lies on the other side. A series of trials that inspired classic songs awaits the teens, each deadlier than the next, each testing their newfound powers.Along with drummer Otis, singer Poe, and saxophonist Corey, each battling their own disabilities or demons, Muddy must cross the river that is the source for all creativity. The band fights a world alive with unimaginable horrors and realize their path to redemption is hindered by two obstacles that may destroy them: The Tritons, vicious inhuman leaders of the strange world, and the Dark Muse, a something, or someone who wields the full power of the River. The band’s journey calls for them to build a stairway to heaven, sail through smoke on the water, become iron men, and walk that way across the abyss. But their ultimate battle may prove in vain - it might not save Muddy's brother from the darkness - or awaken something far more deadly. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Greg Lhamon.

    The past and the future both exist in the in-between, but fate is never what you think....In the midst of the rocking 1980s, with glamorous pop stars and unlimited possibilities, Regan Hope Landry knows her destiny has got to be better than working at the Piggly Wiggly like her mother, Rona. Beaten down by poverty and missed opportunities, Rona doesn’t rank high on Regan’s respect list. On the brink of turning 18 and setting the world on fire with her singing talent, Regan yearns to escape their podunk town of Bonne Fete, Louisiana, and head for the Crescent City. And now she can do it, thanks to her deadbeat dad breezing back into their lives and giving Regan a car.Speeding off to New Orleans, Regan chases her dream of being in a real rock band. Her sassy tagalong sister, Rain, is too young to ride her coattails everywhere, but Regan can’t seem to shake her. When a crusty old psychic tells Regan what she wants to hear about her future, the spitfire goes all out, performing her original song, “Walk on Water”, at a hole-in-the-wall club in the French Quarter. After the resident band’s gorgeous guitar player singles her out, Regan is more determined than ever to grow up fast and leave her past in the dust. After all, she was born to belt out her songs on stage to thousands of adoring fans.Confronted by an angel, seduced by a devil, Regan stakes her claim to become a superstar, but every decision she makes could mean losing as much as she wins - and every choice could mean risking her very soul. ungekürzt.

    Massive world tours. Over a hundred million albums sold. Groupies galore. Every day is a party for Viper and the guys of TBD, the biggest rock band in the world. But it all comes to a screeching halt when the lead singer walks out of the studio one day and never comes back.  Ear-blistering vocals. Butchered lyrics. Fame chasers. After months of lackluster auditions, Viper, the lead guitarist and resident bad boy of the group, is ready to find solace in the bottom of a bottle. Time’s running out, and the pressure’s on to find a new singer, but it isn’t until an angel walks through the door that the band’s prayers are answered. Charismatic. Talented. Magic behind the mic. Halo is everything they’ve been looking for. With a voice to match his stunning good looks, it isn’t long before Viper’s taking notice. But there are several reasons this is a bad idea:  Interpersonal relationships in the band are discouraged Viper has already broken rule #1 - big mistake Halo is straight  Too bad Viper’s body isn’t listening to his head - at least not the one on his shoulders. But you can’t fake chemistry, not onstage and certainly not off it, and Viper and Halo? They have it in spades.  As both men try to resist the fire blazing between them, and the band is forced to reinvent themselves, it’ll be a complicated rise back to the top. But from the ashes of what was, something beautiful is born. Something better. And when the world finally sees Halo stretch his wings, they’ll discover what it’s like to fall for an angel. ungekürzt.
